Museum of Plate is the solo unit of pianist TSUKAMOTO Saiko (aka Saikolee), though in its early days (especially EPs "The Plate of Museum of Plate" et "Hello! Cruel World") it was a band right in the Shibuya-kei scene and featured collaborations with artists such as Kahimi Karie, Wack Wack Rhythm Band, Freedom Suite, Ellie (Love Tambourines), and Escalators. Later, Saiko went on to write pieces of a more classical style, while maintaining ties with the scene.
Other projects include unit saikoss with TAKAHASHI Kuniyuki, and Crue-L Grand Orchestra.
Fans visiting Tokyo should definitely stop by Dessert Company, a café in Harajuku produced by the pianist. Museum Of Plate links Label page at Crue-L www.crue-l.com/disco/m_p/ |
